Description
Luscious and evocative, The Umbrian Supper Club recounts the stories of a small group of Umbrian women who - sometimes with their men and, as often, without them - gather in an old stone house in the hills above Orvieto to cook, to sit down to a beautiful supper, to drink their beloved local wines. And to talk.

Marlena de Blasi set out to make a home -- in the former ballroom of a dilapidated sixteenth-century palazzo -- and to win over her neighbors, who include artisans, counts, shepherds, and a lone violinist. Though wary of a stranger in their midst, they find her passion for the fine arts of cooking and eating irresistible, and together they create a spectacular feast as breathtaking as the city itself. -- Back cover.

Mądrzy, pełni ciepła i życzliwości, obdarzeni poczuciem humoru. Ale potrafią też nienawidzić, pogardzać, odgradzać się ironią i szyderstwem.
